so I am not sure that a new technology wifi_p2p is a good idea, but I could be wrong here. It is just a feeling that this might not be the best approach. However this should not stop you from trying. So go ahead here and we see where it leads us. Just make sure that you send RFC patches early. So you get more eyes on it. And for GSupplicant support for P2P, that sounds like a good idea anyway. So I would start with that. Maybe at that point it also becomes a lot clearer on how P2P fits into legacy WiFi networks in a clean way without breaking everything else.
